my blob's too slow!

i heard about this game before the two game stores in my town did.

i love puzzle games. i like being challenged. this game is totally hard.

the graphics are magnificent, but the sound is disappointing. especially in the little cut scenes-i didn't know just how great the psp's video capacity was. the mini movies look lush and you just wish that the rest of the game looked like that.

my main problem is that the time limit is the game limit. you can't pause the game and spin the board around to see what's ahead. you can't take the time to formulate a strategy-which is crucial when you have a blob that can break apart and be colored and be attacked by a blob-eating monster, not to mention all of the other neat gizmos to be encountered. when you run out of time, game's over. start again. wait for the load screen. the analog slider is great in this game, but moving the board around (camera view) is clunky and very difficult to adjust while the time clock is ticking.

great idea. not gamer friendly.
